Description

Link to Dr Hammetts websitehttps://www.drkeithhammett.co.nz/siteglide-products/beeline-ii

These seeds, bred by Dr Keith Hammett, are a cross between dahlia variabilis and Dahlia sherffii which is a dahlia that has not been used in crosses before.   The flowers have muted  colours  and are described as having a semi-translucent quality, much like stained glass. The plant has very finely divided leaves.  They are small compact plants and don’t need support in the garden. These seeds are something novel, and we just have a few of them
